Summary: Prince Richie, son of King Prosperous, has been granted lordship of an old, long-abandoned castle in Dauerdale. He has come to examine his new keep, but meanwhile, things in the village suddenly explode out of control...

A squadron of knights arrives in Dauerdale, a sleepy hamlet near the eastern borders of the Kingdom of Prosperia.

Knight: Open up! Prince Richie has come to examine his new castle!

The gate opens, and Lady Emela, one of the kingdom's most renown knights, steps out.Emela: I am afraid that repairs are not yet complete, my lord. I assure you that my men are working day and night to have this castle prepared for you.

Prince Richie: I don’t care if it’s ready, I want to see the boobs! I mean castle! Uh… nice breastplate, by the way.

Princess Flibatrinaria ("Flibby") of Rodayn, a neighboring kingdom: Oh, Richie, you said you had eyes only for me!

The Wenches and the Muscle Squad had more or less the same idea this round, but the Wenches won initiative, so they actually pulled it off. Alice drags down one of the huge, beer-laden kegs...

And heaves it at the muscle squad. Beer splashes everywhere, and all but one of the bros are disrupted.

The wenches attack, killing two squadmates.

Muscle Squad: (TheVengefulOne):

The muscle dudes recover quickly, and take out two of the wenches in retaliation. Beer and blood runs all over the floors, making everything slippery.

Hot & Spicy Fire Legion: (Stalinsfavoritekhat)

One demon decides to crawl into the well, because... well i'm not sure why, actually.

Down he goes. One hears a drawn-out, slowly fading scream of regret, and then a splash. Fire demons and water don't mix well. The demon's corpse seems to have an insalubrious effect on the well, however... an evil miasma begins to rise up from its depths.

The rest of the Legion charges forward, but can't quite get to those squishy, delicious townsfolk.

The Fallen Angel calls up more demons from the deep [Feat succesful!], three fire bolters emerge with fiery cackles.

Townsfolk: (motorhead fan)

The townsfolk decide, you know what, fuck it. They all scream "BANZAI!!!" and charge the fire legion.

They take down one legionnaire, but fail to kill a second. The archer in the blacksmith shop misses his mark.

The surviving legionnaire counters and eviscerates the blacksmith.

Robbin' the Hood decides to just chill up in the house for now. But what's this...? He finds a strange potion in the study. To drink, or not to drink...

Enraged at being thrown around, Buffgar decides to drop trou and show these girls why they ought to respect him. The vast quantities of beer just consumed power his massive spray of urination, blowing the wenches away and marking the entire tavern as his territory with one clever trick!

Scimitar guy again fails to kill katana girl.

Townsfolk:

The angry peasant skewers a fire demon. The drunk peasant behind him doesn't manage to do much of anything.

The Robbigator eats a fire demon alive.

Archer guy misses, again.

This guy makes it to the tavern. He is surprised by what he sees.

Hot & Spicy Fire Legion:

The fire demons press the attack and kill a peasant and a knight.

The archers advance and kill another knight.

The giant witch-fire-monster-thing lumbers forward while the Fallen Angel summons more legionnaires with deadly pikes.

Knights of Prosperia:

The knights push their way to the front of the melee, protecting the peasants. They take down two fire demons.
